UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Even in this video the presenter details how they often used values from completely unrelated elections because it made them look better.
Worth highlighting that the more egregious manipulation from the Lib Dems would not be in a constituency where they actually stand a chance (where the video presenter is based and used as a source for his leaflets). The worst is when they're solidly in third, where they misrepresent their position and cynically try to take votes away from the actual alternative contender—you see more cases of that in the articles linked in the video description
